Effect

  • A friendly Boss Monstro ingame.pngMonstro jumps on a random enemy, dealing 120 damage while destroying nearby obstacles like rocks.

Notes

  • This item will target Isaac if it is used in a room without monsters and can cause damage (a full-heart).
    • Monstro can be dodged in multiple ways depending on Speed and timing.
      • (except in Repentance) At 1.95 Speed or higher, Monstro can be dodged by walking in a straight line.
      • (except in Repentance) At 1.84 Speed or higher, Monstro can be dodged by standing still for a moment, and then moving.
      • (except in Repentance) At 1.69 Speed or higher, Monstro can be dodged by walking in one direction then walking in the opposite direction with the right timing.
      • (in Repentance) At 0.86 Speed or higher, Monstro can be dodged by walking in a straight line.
      • (in Repentance) At 0.62 Speed or higher, Monstro can be dodged by standing still for a moment, and then moving.
      • (in Repentance) At 0.38 Speed or higher, Monstro can be dodged by walking in one direction then walking in the opposite direction with the right timing.
  • Monstro will target Shopkeeper.pngShopkeepers. In Repentance you can also bait him into opening secret rooms or destroying tinted rock without hurting Isaac, if timed correctly. Pre-Repentance Monstro will home in on Isaac and hit him no matter what.
  • If Monstro falls near the entrance to a Secret RoomSecret Room, it will be opened. This can be used to open Secret RoomSecret Rooms without using Bomb.pngBombs.
  • (except in Repentance) Like Boss Mom ingame.pngMom and Boss Satan ingame.pngSatan's stomp attacks, this attack is treated as an explosion, so Collectible Pyromaniac icon.pngPyromaniac and (except in Rebirth)Collectible Host Hat icon.pngHost Hat will be activated if Monstro falls on Isaac.
  • (in Rebirth) This item does not affect the boss, Boss Monstro ingame.pngMonstro.

Trivia

  • The tooth can be seen missing in Boss Monstro ingame.pngMonstro/ Boss Monstro II ingame.pngMonstro II's mouth.
  • This item is similar to II - The High PriestessII - The High Priestess, but deals less damage.
  • Judging by the sprites of Monstro/Monstro II, it can be assumed that the missing tooth is an incisor tooth or canine tooth. The item physically resembles a molar tooth however.
  • This item's unlock is the most common steam achievement in the game.
